Hi,

How can be changed parent of child. Is it best way that first removed child(with RemoveContentChildOperation) and after the child added(with AddContentChildOperation) to other part. Is there other way for this issue on GEF5.

Hi cenk,

changing the parent is currently only supported via remove/add by default.

Reordering of children is possible, though (same parent, different index in list of children).

Also, ContentPolicy (as well as CreationPolicy and DeletionPolicy) might help with such operations.

Best regards,
Matthias
